ILOILO |
||
| One
thing you notice about Iloilo when you are going around is they definitely
are one of the major suppliers of rice to the Philippines. By November
it was time to harvest the rice and everywhere you went rice was on the
streets and fields drying. Even when I was on Olango island I saw
they were bringing in large sacks of rice from Iloilo. The
people here are also friendly and I was able to visit my friends house and
they took me around to the different restaurants and karaoke clubs in the
evening. We also visited the zoo and had lunch there. As with
most restaurants the cost for lunch and dinner is reasonable anywhere from
250-500 pesos ($5-$10 u.s) for two persons, we all had a good time
while I was there. The Domestic airport is small. When you are
waiting for your luggage you can give the porter your luggage ticket stub
and he will go and dig it out of the pile they put the luggage in. I
think I gave him 50 pesos ($1) for the two luggage I had and he took it to
the van. I did stay at the Days Inn hotel, who when I asked them, gave me
a discount on my room. I think I paid about 1250 pesos ($25) per
night. The hotel is located on the top floors of a mall in the city
part of Iloilo and is only a short ride from the airport. They had a
Days Inn van to pick me up for free at the airport and take me back there
as well when I left. |
